The goodbye parties held at the end of July and August were terrific. I was so honored (and inspired) to see the older alumni...those 12 year olds so much experience behind them and bright futures ahead! And, those 9 year olds, skilled, capable, showing their new sense of responsibility toward others. The six year olds, so comfortably wearing the strong bodies and faces of childhood. And, even the youngest children, those 3-4 year old purveyors of play, all enjoyed themselves, despite the apprehension of leaving their pals and DyLynn to begin their next steps! As the reports come in...I'm hearing that they are making easy transition and while Fritz noted, "It's a different place for me." - they seem to be holding their own!

Keep in touch everyone!
